Patent number: 10082987Abstract: A print management apparatus includes a memory that stores settings information of a print job, and printer information, a display controller that controls a display to simultaneously display a print job list representing a list of print jobs, and a printer list representing a list of printers, and a receiving unit that receives an input to the print job list displayed on the display. The display controller changes, in response to reception by the receiving unit of an input to select a print job displayed in the print job list, the display order of printers in the printer list by use of the settings information of the selected print job and the printer information. The receiving unit receives, from a screen displayed on the display and in which the changing of the display order is reflected, an input to select a destination printer to which to transmit a print job.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2017Date of Patent: September 25, 2018Assignee: FUJI XEROX CO., LTD.Inventors: Naohiro Sawata, Bing Yan
